Australian Dream Review

Your Rating

It is estimated that by 2040, there will be over 78 million people in this country diagnosed with arthritis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC has also reported that, currently, 49.7% of adults over the age of 65 have been diagnosed to have arthritis. Yet, 62% of all diagnoses are for those younger than 65. What this shows is not just that arthritis is very common, but that it is not only something that elderly people experience.

If you suffer from arthritis, knowing that you are not alone is not going to increase your quality of life. Taking pharmaceutical medication to cope with the pain and inflammation may help, but most people want to avoid the side effects. Pharmaceutical drugs have various side effects and they may also be habit forming. Hence, people with arthritis look for a natural product that is effective yet safe at the same time. One group of products that claims to do just that is Australian Dream. They claim that their products can help fight the muscle stiffness, inflammation, and pain that millions of arthritis sufferers experience.

What Is the Australian Dream?

There are numerous different types of over the counter treatments, creams, and pills available to help with the symptoms associated with arthritis. Unfortunately, not all of these products are effective. Australian Dream, however, is one product that claims to be different, stating that it is completely effective. So much so, in fact, that they back it with a full satisfaction guarantee.

The products have received celebrity endorsement, including from Chuck Woolery, a famous TV personality. They are topical analgesics designed to relieve arthritic pain. The products are odorless, non-greasy, and do not leave a burning sensation. Additionally, according to the manufacturer, the product also doesn’t cause any side effects. This is why the product is known as “America’s #1 Topical Pain Relief Cream”. That is a pretty bold statement to make and certainly one worthy of further exploration.

The Australian Dream Products

Australian Dream consist of three key pain relieving products. The first is the Arthritis Pain Relief Cream. This is a highly popular product that includes 0.025% histamine dihydrochloride, which the manufacturers claim is effective for joint pain, muscle pain, and minor arthritis. Additionally, the cream can be applied to bruises, strains, and sprains and provide relief. The product is non-greasy and odorless. It is also very easy for the skin to absorb and it can be used daily.

The second product is the Back Pain Cream. This product is designed specifically to help people who experience back pain. Like the arthritis cream, this product uses histamine dihydrochloride, but the level is higher at 0.050%.

The final product is the Hand & Wrist Pain Cream. This product provides temporary relief for the discomfort and pain in the hands and wrists. This includes repetitive motion pain and the aches people feel in their fingers and joints. Again, the main ingredient is histamine dihydrochloride, this time at 0.025%. The product can also be used on bruises, strains, simple backache, and arthritis. Uniquely, it is only available from CVS pharmacies.

Prices and What You Get

Australian Dream can be purchased from a range of different websites, including the manufacturer’s own website, Walmart, Target, CVS Pharmacy, Walgreens, and more. It can also be purchased through Drugstore.com and through Amazon. Because different retailers and manufacturers have different rules and regulations, prices may vary as well. However, you can expect to pay around:

$18 for a 2oz jar of arthritis pain relief cream, $28 for a 4oz jar, and $55 for an 8oz jar

Between $23.99 and $29.99 for back pain relief

Between $15.00 and $19.99 for hand and wrist cream

Whichever product you purchase and wherever from, you will always receive the Empty Jar Guarantee. This means that you can try out the entire jar of product and return it for a full refund, minus shipping and handling charges, should you not be happy with the results. You only have to contact customer service to arrange for your refund.

What About Side Effects?

According to the manufacturers, Australian Dream is completely safe to use. However, some people are allergic to histamines, which is something to be aware of. Of particular importance, as well, is that the product contains shellfish, which can lead to a severe allergic reaction.

Histamine dihydrochloride can cause side effects if it comes into contact with open wounds or with the eyes. Additionally, it can cause problems when inhaled and it could accidentally be eaten by children. Naturally, all of these dangers are explained in full on the manufacturer’s website, but it is your responsibility as a consumer to read them. The label states that it should not be applied on open wounds or rashes, and the eyes. It should also be kept out of the reach of children.

Overall, the Australian Dream products are safe to use for adults and children over the age of 12 without shellfish or histamine dihydrochloride allergies. It must be used externally only, as it can be poisonous when ingested. It does not contain capsaicin, which means it does not cause burning on the skin when it is applied. The risk of side effects, therefore, is quite minimal if used properly. Should users experience an allergic reaction, they should be able to counteract that by taking a dose of antihistamine, which are available over the counter as hay fever and allergy tablets.

What I Liked About the Australian Dream

It doesn’t contain capsaicin, which means it doesn’t cause burning.

The company is completely open and transparent about the ingredients in all three of the products.

All Australian Dream products come with an empty jar guarantee.

The products are available from a variety of different stores, ensuring you can always find the best deal.

It is celebrity endorsed.

It contains histamine dihydrochloride, which is supported by a wealth of scientific evidence.

It contains 100% natural herbs.

It is in the form of a cream, which is very easy to apply.

It is very fast acting and can target aches and pains, including bruises and strains, all over the body.

It is non-greasy and completely odorless.

Different products are available for different aches and pains, rather than offering a one size fits all solution.

What I Didn’t Like About the Australian Dream

While scientific data on the effectiveness of histamine dihydrochloride and the other ingredients in the Australian Dream products exist, you have to find them yourself. The manufacturer has not made it available on the company website.

It can be quite difficult to find all the details with reference to the ingredients and the dosage at which they are included.

It is not clear who manufactures the Australian Dream and whether it is the same company known for their sun care products or not.

It should not be used by pregnant or nursing mothers.

It is not suitable for people under the age of 12.

The relief the product provides is temporary only.

You must wash your hands every time you have used the product to avoid getting it in your eyes or accidentally ingesting it.

It may cause significant side effects, particularly if used improperly.

The product doesn’t work on more serious aches and pains.

It is quite an expensive treatment.

The manufacturer’s website does not have any customer testimonials listed, although those can be found through retailers that stock the product.

The Final Verdict

The reality is that no two people are the same, nor are two pains exactly the same. While this is obvious, it is also very important. The reason for that is because something that works perfectly for one individual may not work at all for someone else. And, unfortunately, when it comes to pain relief, it is very common to see something that works to be completely ineffective for someone else.

One of the reasons for this is that pain can be caused by so many different things, all of which need to be treated in different ways. A slipped disc, for instance, is different from a pulled muscle and should be treated as such. While topical analgesics work, they have their limitations.

That being said, no matter how limited topical analgesics may be, they are also incredibly popular because they do work. The Australian Dream is one such product that actually works. If you are suffering from aches and pains caused by arthritis or other problems, and those pains are not yet so severe that you require prescription drugs, then you may find that the Australian Dream is the perfect product for you. Do make sure, however, that you are not allergic to any of the ingredients listed and that you use the product as directed. Keep it out of reach of children and avoid contact with open wounds or the eyes. In fact, you need to treat this for what it is: a medication.

Considering that the ingredients are backed by scientific evidence, the fact that the product is odorless and non-greasy, and that you can always fall back on the empty jar guarantee, there should be no reason for you not to try the product.
